Butoes - Rough Legged Hawk I am researching the Rough Legged Hawk. The Rough legged Hawk is Bueto. A bueto is a large hawk with these characteristics, large hawk, wings long and broad, and they have a broad tail. The Rough Legged Hawk adults are usually all dark, but still with pale wing feathers and white strip at the base of tail. The younlings are similar to the adult female, but they have browner tails and less distinct dark strip on their tail and along trailing edge of wings. They usually make calls like a long "kaaaar." Here is picture and a video of a Rough legged Hawk. My Experience: Well, I have only went bird watching a couple of times and have only seen a couple of birds but, I have seen a Rough Legged Hawk. I have seen them soaring over corn fields and diving at the ground but that is all I have seen.Features Large hawk Wings long and broad Flight feathers pale, with dark trailing edge to wings Black marks at wrists Tail broad, with white at base and broad dark tip Commonly with pale, streaked chest and broad dark belly May be all dark, but still with pale wing feathers and white at base of tail Hunts from the air or elevated perch
